ZacXCX Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Listened for the first time on my way to work earlier today, and this was genuinely amazing? It kinda exceeded my expectations. There are a LOT of songs that I enjoy even more than the original versions. I'm a HIFN and Pop 2 defender and this has a similar feeling, so I really enjoyed it. The second half especially feels very nostalgic somehow (except 365, obviously). So I especially f*cked me up because it fully sounded like a SOPHIE song towards the end. What a way to bring her essence back for a bit. 1 minute ago, Uncatena said: wait, this is basically the third mixtape... That might be why I loved it so much and felt nostalgic listening to it, ngl. At first I was really keen on wanting the album to feel like the Boiler Room sets, but I'm actually really happy with this interpretation. So I and B2b are favorites. Guess is a weird/anticlimatic way to end the album lmao. 365 would've been a better ending, but I get that she wanted to keep the tracklist order. 7

I think its important that we distinguish a DJ set from an album and this feels much more like a whole piece of work rather than a "spin-off", I guess. taste, those are in my top 3 as well i think back when the deluxe came out I put the three bonus tracks after Mean girls so that ITAATT and 365 were still the two last songs, I kinda did the same for this because I deleted Mean girls and put Guess in its place and it really works like that. but 365 should've been longer imo. I didn't need a 6 minute version or anything but 2 minutes is... VERY short. 1

What a way to bring her essence back for a bit. I think the gradual transition from sounds that were very clearly Charli/AG classics into sounds evocative of Sophie's work was brilliant. It's sort of like peeling back the layers to showcase her influence at the heart of so much of their own work. 1 4
305 Posted October 11 Posted October 11 I'm pretty underwhelmed tbh. Maybe I need to give it another listen idk. Sympathy is just there to me, could've been much cooler I was waiting to hear Ari belt a note. Why was Caroline not on Apple?? 2
Cain Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Idk why but the Club classics remix sounds so nostalgic to me like the first minutes sound like something I would've listened to in 2013 while just discovering going out, I'm obsessed
Cruel Summer Posted October 11 Posted October 11 After my first pass, my favorites here are Apple, I think about it all the time, I might say something stupid, and B2b. Thats a super different list than I had for the main album. Sympathy is a knife was a little jarring in its differences, but I'll get used to it - in part because I eternally adore Ariana and can't not love her on a Brat track. Everything is romantic is tough for me. It's brilliant, it remains brilliant rather than having been definitely upgraded - I mean, it was already one of the best tracks in her discography. That evaluation might change, though - I'm listening again and it might be meaningfully different enough to warrant its own praise independent of the original. I think it fits in neatly with some of the others I listed as favorites. I think some of the best tracks and moments on this version of the album sort of highlight the spaces between the sound - literally in the case of I might say something stupid, but really I mean that they're calmer, more contemplative, less overtly energetic at first, though they might build up as they come to a close. They're perfect for October, actually. Brat summer is over, the cold night is settling in a little bit, and new, different feelings take center stage. 2
Slate Posted October 11 Posted October 11 K here's the plan I wanna fly you out to Amsterdam I got a good hotel to **** you in I wanna Boy come see me We could pop our **** to Charli And I need your arms around me 1
Relampago. Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Club classics being my favorite isn't something I expected after hearing a snippet of it 1

Listened to it this morning and was heavily underwhelmed by almost every new remix. BRAT probably being my most listened to album of all time too... 2 1

perfectillusion204 Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Sympathy, Everything is romantic, So I, 365… all slay I don't get all the hype for club classics… she's cute for sure but not even close to being in my top 5. Rewind & Apple were kind of a letdown, but again, not bad. I might say something stupid is the worst by a landslide. The only bad track. Mean girls is def growing on me the more I listen. Same with B2b. 1
ImpressMeMuch Posted October 11 Posted October 11 The insecure phone in hate for talk talk remix still happening in this thread 3
Hex Posted October 11 Posted October 11 WOW this is so good. On par if not more significant feeling than the original and still largely cohesive. Only song I can't get into is the Apple remix but I never cared for the OG.. just gives lifeless Spotify playlist pop for a work party. But everything else knocks sooo hard. Fav of the new remixes as of now are CC, EIR, So I, the last half of IMSSS, SIAK, Mean Girls and 365 (so basically all lol).
Hex Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Just now, ImpressMeMuch said: The insecure phone in hate for talk talk remix still happening in this thread I don't hate it but the production feels like a step down compared to the rest... I see what it's going for but the synths needed strike harder, bass pulse more, snares slap more. Consistent issue I've felt with Zhone's (the producer) output. Just feels a bit amateurish compared to absolute prodigy producers like AG and Easyfun.
illia Posted October 11 Posted October 11 What are the chances of her releasing "Brat and it's completely different but also still brat and it's the same but there's two more songs so it's not" with the Hello goodbye and Spring breakers remixes?

Daglazzo Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Kinda upset how they destroyed b2b the original is ok, the first part of it. I was hoping they'll make it even harder, but now it sounds so watered down 1 1
